Tablo over-the-air DVRs still struggling to record following server outage

Tablo, a popular and affordable over-the-air DVR, has been facing technical issues following a major service outage in late July. While the initial connectivity problems have been resolved, many users are still experiencing problems with their electronic programming guides, leading to issues with recording upcoming shows. The outage was caused by a disruption in the third-party servers used by Tablo's parent company, E. W. Scripps. This left many Tablo DVRs inaccessible, preventing users from watching live TV, viewing recorded shows, or accessing streaming channels. Though the initial outage was quickly resolved, it temporarily slowed Tablo's efforts to address a separate issue that was preventing programming data from being processed correctly. This led to large gaps or "Programming Data Not Available" errors in users' Tablo programming guides, which stretched well into August. While the programming guide issues have been largely resolved, some users are now facing new problems, with their Tablo devices throwing errors when they try to record current or future shows. Tablo has acknowledged the ongoing issues and says it is working to resolve them as quickly as possible, but has not provided a concrete timeline for a full return to normal operations.
